Dwalin and Orla from determamfidd’s Sansûkh. 

I was trying to a comic for thier fic The Long Road but then I made myself sad so I drew these two cuties fighting back to back. (the comic did get started tho, so I’ll probably finish it sometime). I had such a blast designing Dwalin’s hammer, even though I didn’t get to draw all of it. One side shows Erebor, the other the crown and stars of Durin, and the small sides have the runes for D and O, like on Orla’s axe. Maybe i’ll post some of my sketches for his hammer sometime because that was such fun!

*clutches face in awe*

oh my WORD, there is just so much work in this! It is amazing – all the detail, the shading, the lines! Her thighs, hnnnnngh 🙂

Their faaaaces! (ORLA’S SHAVED HEAD-SIDES, HER NOSERING YESSS OMG) and the tattoos, wow!!! I am in awe of the designs for Orla’s clothes, seriously – that is BRILLIANT, I love them so so much! And her LONG AXE EEEEEEEEE

Awwwww Dwalin’s hammer AWWW, that is so wonderful, I would LOVE to see the designs! There is such a feel of movement in this picture, like they have just paused momentarily to gather themselves before the next attack, *bites desk* 

I love it SO much! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

also – WHAT, COMIC FOR THE LONG ROAD WHAAAAAT O.O !!!!

For poplitealqueen and all mixed race people who get shit everyday from outside and inside fandom. We are beautiful and powerful and our cultures are within us, as well as outside of us. Let’s write about awesome mixed race dwarves being proudly mixed race as fuck! Btw the character Ojal is pop so. 

ALSO YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THE PUNCHLINE IF YOU READ MY PREVIOUS FICS JSYK

It was customary, after the birth of an Eastern Dwarven child outside of the Orocarni, for the parents to make that journey with them as soon as was comfortable – back to the mountains that they would always call ‘home’ in their hearts. Khalei and Jeri’s bright star had been born in late Winter, and they both decided that they would wait for the mighty rivers that would bear them across Rhun to thaw, and for the child to settle into life in the safety and warmth of Erebor.

poplitealqueen:

For dain-mothafocka.

This is Khalei, her half-Firebeard half-Blacklock Dwarf OC from the Orocarni that is really damn cool. You can read a ficlet that has them in this post here.

The headscarf shown is known as a Kh’busi: a garb some of the Blacklock dwarves wear to show their family and Clan history. (This is only a taste of delish Orocarni headcanons, bet you thought it was canon!)

Seriously, Khalei is bae. Every day.

I can’t even fuuuuuuuuuuu

so good so so good so good I love this interpretation. that busi is fuckin a* so regal and majestic. 

and tHEIR HAIR. Wow. That’s next level hair. 

They look so intimidating but in a ‘you will never be this pretty’ way and so boss. no wonder Jeri was scared.

“Hello, little one,” Jeri muttered for the seventh time, cradling the tiny dwarf infant in their arms. 

As they gazed down at the bundle that was their newborn child, Jeri thought they were almost close to collapsing with emotion and exhaustion. However, they did have the capacity to wonder over a few things. One was that their child – their child (and thinking about this almost set Jeri off blubbing again; they thought they were over the worst of it now) – was so impossibly small. They surely couldn’t have been that small when they were born. 

Another was how utterly beautiful they were. Of course, Jeri had scoffed whenever anyone brought up the mix that they would have Khalei’s good looks – but even so, their child was perfect in every way conceivable – a miniature version of Khalei’s bow mouth, coupled with Jeri’s nose and a hint of warm, golden sunshine in their cheeks. Jeri couldn’t help but sit on the edge of the bed and bury their nose in their tiny hat, tears running into their beard again. 

He felt their sanmelek take their hand in theirs, and Jeri looked up to find the same dazed expression on their face, before they gently leaned in for a kiss. 

“You are incredible, ghivasha,” they murmured.

Sweet merciful Mahal, I’ve been productive this weekend! O__O

-Narvi (are you surprised?) with a to-scale model of Minas Tirith. Since she can’t do anything about the actual city she decided to carve it out a huge block of marble. I just liked the idea of it.
-The one thing Narvi and Thráin can agree on. (They probably have more things in common than this, they just don’t acknowledge it.)
-A quick illustration for the latest chapter (number 37). Narvi was glaring at the Pool “as if trying to solve a puzzle”. Had to draw it.
-Re-designed Kárkad’s beard.
-A small part of a comic I’ve sketched out. We’ll see when I finish it.
-Me after this weekend. I’ve spent the last two days either knitting or drawing, and from the right angle my black circles look enormous.
-This is old! I started it in 2014! It’s supposed to be Mahal’s forge, though I’m not sure how well I captured it.
-Nienna! Really liked how her face turned out. The mist/smoke appeared because I didn’t want to draw her feet.

OH HIPPO I LOVE THEM ALL BUT ESPECIALLY THRAIN AND NARVI GIVING SAURON THE BIRD

OH SO MUCH

BECAUSE THEY SHOULD AND TOTALLY WOULD OH MY GODDD

AHHHH NARVI’S HAIR AND FACE IN THAT FIRST ONE AND HOW MUCH DO I ADORE PICS OF DWARROWDAMS CRAFTING 

A HELL OF A LOT THAT’S HOW MUCH

NIENNA IS GLORIOUS 

THANKYOU THANK YOU SO MUUUUUCH ❤

A follow-up fic to What happens in the weapons room

A
few months after Akhsan and Khalei’s arrival at Erebor, a lot of
things have happened. For one thing, Jeri is now in a relationship
after a game of spin the bottle, and a Middle-Earth famous warlord
will not stop comparing them to a vegetable. So Jeri was slightly
relieved to be entrusted in a scouting mission to the edges of the
Sea of Rhun. Less relieved that he had Akhsan solely for company.

For determamfidd and poplitealqueen

It
had been a long two months for Jeri. For good reasons – no,
amazing, brilliant reasons, and for slightly weirder ones.

Two
months since Akhsan’s arrival, which had led to two months of Orla
creeping around, glaring at any dwarf under her command who even
looked in the direction of the visiting dwarven legend. Whisperings
and excitement had raged through Erebor’s military, and Jeri, much to
their exasperation, had found little notes tacked to the elite guard
barracks – Alvira loves Akhsan for ever.

*gibbers excitedly*

AHHHH

(khalei/jeri otp oh yus)

thessalies:

This is… almost certainly not the most obscure thing I’ve ever done, but it’s still pretty nerdy.

But yeah. My Second Age babes. Trans dwarf lady Narvi, nonbinary Celebrimbor, Annatar, and Galadriel. I used Andrea Marcaccini, David Chiang, Andrej Pejic and Jessica Plummer for face reference.

@determamfidd, christmashippo, fae-of-the-rose, I know I’m just a weird random stranger but you guys are the only people I know who are interested in Narvi and Celebrimbor so yeah. *sheepishly contributes to microscopic fandom*

Galadriel’s way too saturated but hey, it’s Galadriel, it works.

OH

MY GOD

AMAAAAZING

*keels over. There are choking noises*

I love these so SO SOOOO MUCH. Thank you for tagging me – I am absolutely dumbfounded by the skill and beauty of them! (TRANS POC NARVI AND NB ASIAN CELEBRIMBOR AHHHH YES I DIE NOW) 

What happens in the weapons room. Sansukh fanfic. Jeri/OC

dain-mothafocka:

After
King Thorin Stonehelm’s coronation, two dwarves from the East arrive
in the fray of battle to Erebor. One of them grabs Jeri’s attention,
and the member of the King’s Elite Guard has quite possibly the most
awkward conversation of their life. Featuring dwarven gender feels,
and Jeri being a blushing bag of flails when faced with someone they
fancy.

Of course as you know, all Sansukh characters belong to determamfidd. Akhsan and Khalei belong to me. Khalei being, of course, a shameless self-insert. 

It
was with a rush of anticipation that the gathered crowd drew their
weapons behind the front gate of Erebor. At the behest of King
Stonehelm, a spear wall had been quickly formed: not five minutes
ago, a lookout had informed them that a charioteer was headed towards
the gates through the writhing mass of Orcs and dark beasts, bearing
the insignia of Khand and standing atop a huge, fast-moving wain.
Just one of them – a messenger.
